This year’s conference will address topics of interest to both stocker and cow-calf producers. The conference will be a one-day event and will include educational sessions covering such topics as advancing reproduc-tive management, restoring feeding areas back to pasture, beef cattle outlook, corn si-lage as an alternative feed, stocker versus feedlot health, and endophyte vs. novel endo-phyte fescue. Once again, we will have virtual tours of operations from each of the three states and then will have a time of questions and answers with the producers themselves. This year’s conference will be one that should add dollars to your bottom line whether you run a stocker or a cow-calf operation.
